BTW Solaris /bin/test is a shellscript which is merly
`basename $0` "$@"
so on platforms like this, the slow path (sh -c test) should be faster.

Well Linux and *BSD uses binary /bin/test so slow path is slower.
If speed is at premium for bare "test",
you can detect the shellscriptness of the /bin/test and switch accordingly
in the configure
(which is a mess, and doesn't gain much anyway, as bare "test" is rare)
